Subject: Leicester C. T. 4 Maker: Electric Railway and Tramway Carriage Works, Preston Truck: Brill 21E Seating: 34/22 Location: Preston, Dick, Kerr works Date: c.1904
If you've worked through this Leicester gallery from the beginning you will be relieved to finally come across a tram with a confirmed identity! 4 is posed here before going to Leiceter to revolutionise transport there.
4 was converted to a balcony car by 1927 and fully-enclosed by 1934. It just about saw the system out, being withdrawn in 1949 as the system closed.
